Chronic Nerve Compression
Main content start
Description
The objective of this project is to assess muscle changes after chronic denervation using a nerve compression model. Ultimately, we plan to use muscle stem cells to support muscle recovery after the compression is removed. This mimics the clinical problem that occurs in carpal and cubital tunnel syndromes. If successful in a small animal model, this could be translated to larger animals and then to humans.
